CHAPTER 6

Kyle awoke in his tub with a sharp pain throbbing in his head. Jessi…He immediately got up to see if Jessi was having another bad dream. He yawned and rubbed his eyes as he crossed the hall to her room. He was surprised to see the door wide open with the lights still on. He walked in and found Jessi no where in sight.

"Jessi?" He said is questioningly, hoping to get some type of response. Suddenly he got another shear of pain shooting to his head. He grabbed his head and fell on the floor, trying to hold back his cries of pain. Once it stopped he caught his breath and lifted his head when something shined in his eyes. On the ground was Sarah's ring a few feet away from where he was kneeling. Why is this on the floor? Curious, he stood up to lift it off the ground. As soon as his fingers brushed it, Kyle saw a huge flash, bringing him into his memories. Kyle was trying to recover from his recent electric shock, backing away from the man threatening him at the same time.

"Why are you doing this" Kyle said breathlessly.

"Because that is what they want. That's what…she wants. And if you try and stop me, I'm just going to have to keep hurting you." Kyle felt another charge of electricity over-powering his body as he let out a growl in pain and fell on his knees."And then I'm going to hurt Jessi. Until she wishes that she really had died."

Kyle returned from his memory and looked down at the ring. His fist curled in anger as he hiss Cassidy's name in his head. And then I'm going to hurt Jessi. Until she wishes that she really had died. Cassidy's words rung in his head as his fist uncurled and suddenly felt a slight pain in his chest. "Jessi…" I have to find her.

He grabbed his phone and was about to step out the front door when a thought suddenly hit him. What about the Tragers? He needed for them to be safe too, along with Amanda. Amanda. Kyle flipped open his phone to call Foss. He immediately started talking as soon as Foss picked up, not wanted to waste any time.

"Foss, are you watching over Amanda?"

"I said I would. Why? What's wrong?" Kyle took a deep breath before speaking.

"Jessi's gone. I think Cassidy took her."

"What? How do you know?"

"I found Sarah's ring on Jessi's bedroom floor and I remember him threatening to hurt Jessi. Look Foss, I know it may be too much to ask but can you watch over the Tragers too while I go find Jessi?" Foss sighed at the thought of having to patrol two houses throughout the night.

"Kyle you can't, what if this is a trap? Latnok is using her to lure you to them."

"I've considered that, but I need to find her. What if they—"Kyle cut off, not wanting to say it, thinking the worst. "Please, just watch over my family, and Amanda." Foss knew Kyle was going to go after her one way or another so there was no point in trying to convince him otherwise.

"I'll take care of it."

"Thanks Foss." With that, Kyle hung up, slipped his phone in is pocket, and quietly snuck out his bedroom window.

Jessi started to gain consciousness again, opening her eyes to an unfamiliar place. Her thought were first directed to where was she and how did she get there, not really remembering anything. She felt something around her wrists and noticed that she was sitting in a chair with her hands tied behind her back. She felt something slightly weigh down her neck and found a Latnok ring, dangling from the string around the back of her neck. Then she heard an unwanted voice.

"Hello Jessi. Welcome back from the dead." Jessi's eyes suddenly filled with frustration. How was he able to capture me so easily?

"What am I doing here? Where's Kyle?" Her voice dripped with every ounce of anger she had.

"Well I can assure you that Kyle is safely at home. We have plans for him later on. I actually wanted to have a chat with you." Cassidy kept his voice in a calm, mocking tone. Jessi just stared angrily at him.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on him."

"We won't have to Jessi. You see all we needed was you, and we know that will lead him straight to us."

"Leave him alone!" Jessi used all her strength to break through the rope that tied her hands together and stood up to attack Cassidy. Right when her hand was inches away from his neck, she was struck by the painful electric current flowing through the ring hanging from her neck. Jessi dropped down to her knees in pain and screamed in agony. The shock took away so much energy from her and remained on the floor.

"Now, now Jessi. You got to stay calm and you won't get hurt." Jessi looked up at the man, noticing some type of remote in his hands. She felt too weak to speak, and stayed on her knees trying to gain her strength again.

"Now, let me tell you a little story…about your mother." Jessi felt an ache in her chest. Sarah… "I watched as you left her to go find Kyle. You had no idea that would be your last time seeing her. And to think all you had to do was go with her, and she would still be alive today." Jessi felt her jaw clench and kept on an angry face, trying to hold back the tears. She refused to let him get to her and win. "But then you had a chance to save her. You came back and were only a few feet away from where she was. You walked by…and let her die."

"I…I didn't know." Jessi started to defend herself but then thought he's the one who killed her.

"You murdered her." Her voice trembled but still had anger thick in her words. "I finally had my mother, someone who cared about me and you took that away from me!"

With all her strength back she was ready to grab Cassidy in a choke hold, but fought back the urge. I need to contact Kyle. I can't do this by myself. With our powers combined, we would be much stronger. She kept her eyes locked on Cassidy as the lights around her began to flicker.

"Jessi what are you doing?" Cassidy was confused on what to do; he didn't know what she was doing. He heard a light blow out behind him and turned around. He then saw the flickering stop and suddenly felt an arm tightened across his neck. Jessi had Cassidy in a headlock, now with his life in her hands, and all her anger ready for the revenge he deserved.

"This is for Sarah."

A/N: I thought I should leave that as a cliff hanger. Let you guys all think, what is Jessi going to do? Kind of like how Kyle had to choose. Hmm…what do you guys think?
